Suicide Bomber Attacks ISIS Gathering; 59 Killed in Iraq

The Battle for Mosul has separated
thousands of children from the families. Some are merely lost, or their parents
are missing. For others, their entire families may be dead. The UNICEF
organization fears that many are in extremely vulnerable situations.

Several militia groups are being excluded from
the operation to liberate Tal Afar. Musa Ali Julaq, a Turkmen
commander, expressed concern that many of the personnel being kept out are
Turkmen who reside in the city.
